hi buddy,
calcaneal fracturesFractures across a growth plate heal in 3 months time without much attention except for rest. So don't worry. Your doctor has given you the perfect advice, so please continue with that.
regards
Whew, that's a long one to type. Thanks so much for your speady response. Also, thanks for confirming the treatment. The MRI does say... a fracture plane does extend to the subtalar joint space; however no fracture is seen of the the talas. All tendons and ligaments are intact, if not grossly so.... There's a contusion of talas. One more question... is the swelling associated with the above? This slight joint involvement does not warrant surgery, I understand? I realize you can't treat me but just looking for some idea about this treatment. Will the tendons and ligaments continue to swell? I have significant swelling at the joint... upon standing or anything. I've read quiet a bit and I think this will be the situation for a while? How long would I expect that? I realize the calcaneous is healed and it does show it is... Thanks for your review. By the way, I'm a woman :) from sunny California!
